Question

??????????????????????????????

Answer 1

`\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf (2x-20)/(3)=2x \end{gathered}$}`

Multiply both sides of the equation by 3.

`\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf 2x-20=6x \end{gathered}$}`

Subtract 6x on both sides.

`\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf 2x-20-6x=0 \end{gathered}$}`

Combine 2x and −6x to get −4x.

`\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf -4x-20=0 \end{gathered}$}`

Add 20 to both sides. Any value plus zero results in its same value.

`\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf -4x=20 \end{gathered}$}`

Divide both sides by −4.

`\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf x=(20)/(-4) \end{gathered}$}`

Divide 20 by −4 to get −5.

`\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf x=-5 \ \ \to \ \ \ Answer \end{gathered}$}`

Answer 2

`\huge\text{Hey there!}`

`\huge\textbf{Equation: }`

`\mathbf{(2x - 20)/(3) = 2x}`

`\huge\textbf{SIMPLIFY IT or DISTRIBUTE:}`

`\mathbf{(2)/(3)x - (20)/(3) = 2x}`

`\huge\textbf{SUBTRACT 2x to BOTH SIDES:}`

`\mathbf{(2)/(3)x - (20)/(3) - 2x = 2x - 2x}`

`\huge\textbf{SIMPLIFY IT!}`

`\mathbf{- (4)/(3)x - (20)/(3) = 0}`

`\huge\textbf{ADD }\boxed{\rm{\bf (20)/(3)}}\huge\textbf{ to BOTH SIDES:}`

`\mathbf{-(4)/(3)x - (20)/(3) + (20)/(3) = 0 + (20)/(3)}`

`\huge\textbf{SIMPLIFY IT!}`

`\mathbf{-(4)/(3)x = (20)/(3)}`

`\huge\textbf{MULTIPLY }\boxed{\rm \bf {(3)/(-4)}}\huge\textbf{ to BOTH SIDES:}`

`\mathbf{(3)/(-4)*(-4)/(3)x = (3)/(-4)*(20)/(3)}`

`\huge\textbf{SIMPLIFY IT!}`

`\mathbf{x = -5}`

`\huge\text{Therefore, your answer should be: \boxed{\mathsf{x = -5}}}\huge\chekmark`
